DISCLAIMER : The author is looking forward to both Assassin’s Creed 3 and Dishonored, both of them stand the chance of being incredible. This post just takes a look a how Dishonored will best certain aspects of what we’ve seen AC do before and is not meant to hate on either upcoming titles.

One is a slice of globe-trotting, stab and stealth action where freedom and a fight against the power-hungry Templars take the lead, whilst the other is based around a dystopian Industrial-era society that has you using supernatural powers as you battle for your innocence against the corrupted leader(s) who framed you for a crime you didn’t commit.

Although they include a much different range of methods to get to their end-goal of putting the warped members of the aristocracy in their places, both are centred around the idea that they must kill for what is right.

As the two assassin genre supertitles go head to head later this year (the latter in the form of Assassin’s Creed 3), it’s inevitable that comparisons between them are going to be drawn. But how deep do the similarities go? That’s what we’re here to find out.

Okay, so what I’m saying is is that Bethesda really are a big bunch of meanies.

Why else would they play with us like this, releasing a multitude of new Dishonored screenshots, each one more intriguing than the last, leaving us hungrier for more?

These latest images from their supernatural assassin outing will likely leave you whimpering in a crumpled heap, only to be revived by watching this epic CGI Dishonored trailer again. But in any case, Dishonored is my vote for ‘most likely to murder the entire gaming population by being so damn attractive’.
